The final decision on action was made three days later.

During this period, Xiao Ran and others were going to the imperial city to find the prime minister and persuade him to join this assassination mission.

This mission is fundamentally impulsive.

But the significance of Changyanqing's existence is too great for people like Qinglan.

Because his death can bring a lot of things, Xiao Ran knows it, and so does everyone.

Xiao Ran even thought that if this assassination mission could succeed, Qinglan would usher in a turning point, and then he would be able to complete his own affairs with peace of mind.

The temptation was great, and Xiao Ran was indeed tempted.

But there are four questions before these people now.

First, who should be sent to persuade the Prime Minister to join this assassination mission? What should we do if he does not agree?

Secondly, the technique that Xiao Ran said could hide one's cultivation is indeed necessary, but none of the people present knew how to do it.

Third, how many people should be sent to carry out the assassination mission, and which people should be sent specifically.

Fourth, the entire process requires a complete plan, including how to sneak into the Changyan Palace, how to escape intact after the mission is successful, and... emergency response if the mission fails.

Although no one wants to fail the mission, this is a possibility that everyone has to consider.

In the end, everyone decided to solve the first problem first, then study the plan with the Prime Minister, and finally decide who will participate in the mission.

As for the second one, Landau, a know-it-all, gave a way.

It is said that there is a similar spell in the library at the main peak of Yangding Peak.

Yun Yi took the initiative to go to the main peak to find the magic.

So now, the most direct question is who will go to the Imperial City to persuade the Prime Minister to join, and the success rate must be guaranteed to be above 90%.

Everyone looked at each other, and a person's name appeared in their minds at the same time.

Qingyao.

"No." Xiao Ran shook his head decisively.

The others didn't say anything when they saw this. They all knew why Xiao Ran refused.

Even the emperor wanted to hide Qingge's affairs from Qingyao. How could they have the qualifications to let Qingyao know about this matter?

The atmosphere in the camp was silent for a long time.

Xiao Ran raised his eyes at this time and looked at everyone.

"In this case, tomorrow I, Landao, and Ji Lai will go to the imperial city to meet the Prime Minister."

"Everyone, remember not to reveal the news these days. It will neither let our people know nor reach Chang Yan's ears."

"Yes! Senior brother!"

Everyone clasped their fists together and bowed with firm eyes.

Xiao Ran took a deep breath. The weight of this senior brother's voice was too heavy.

But since he is the elder brother of these people, Xiao Ran cannot let go of this burden easily.

I hope the mission will be successful.

After the discussion, the other monks walked out one by one.

Xiao Ran came to Liu Haodi's side and put his palm on his shoulder.

"Junior brother, watch out for our little junior sister, don't let her know what we are planning, and don't let her know where we will be tomorrow." Xiao Ran said softly.

Liu Haodi nodded heavily.

The person in front of him is still the senior brother he is familiar with, but now he is much more stable than before.

After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he sat on the blanket under Landao.

He raised his head and glanced at Ji Laizhi, then focused on Landao.

"Do you know why I chose you two to go with me?" Xiao Ran asked.

Landao smiled and said, "Is it because I am the prince of Song Yuan?"

Ji Laizhi also guessed something after hearing this.

"Because my father is the master of the Sword Sect?"

Xiao Ran shrugged: "Indeed."

"Your identity may make the Prime Minister pay attention to this matter, so that I can speak with confidence."

…

Early the next morning.

Yun Yi came over to say hello to Xiao Ran before setting off.

After Xiao Ran and the others made preparations, they quietly left the Sword Ba Sect.

There were not many people walking around in the streets of the capital, but Xiao Ran knew very well that the number of people staying in the capital at this moment must be more than twice as many as before.

After all, this is Qinglan’s last piece of pure land.

They chose to huddle in the house, probably because they were afraid, because in the past few days, even this last piece of pure land was in danger.

Qinglan Capital is not divided into an inner city and an outer city. The imperial city is equivalent to the inner city. Different from the ordinary people living outside, the imperial city is basically filled with dignitaries and some relatives of the emperor.

Entering the Imperial City originally required a waist badge.

But now there is not even a guard at the city gate.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Ran and the other three should have looked relaxed, but their expressions at this moment were more or less solemn.

The three of them walked around and finally arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, but before they stepped through the gate, they were stopped by the guards inside.

"My lord is not in the house."

It was as if a bolt from the blue sounded in the minds of Xiao Ran and the other two people.

Do you want it to be so dramatic?!

Could it be that this assassination mission was about to fail at the first step before it even started?

Xiao Ran calmed down and asked quickly: "Where is the prime minister now?"

The guards glanced at Xiao Ran and the others, as if they were not at ease.

He remained silent and did not speak.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran quickly pushed Ji Laizhi to the front: "He is the son of Sect Leader Ji, and we are here to discuss matters with the Prime Minister!"

Hearing this, the guard's eyes finally lit up.

"Sect Master Ji?!"

Ji Laizhi nodded quickly: "Yes, I am his father!"

The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.

"Bah! He is my father!" Ji Laizhi corrected with a blushing face.

Considering the importance of his identity, Ji Laizhi was so panicked that he even said the wrong thing.

"Your Excellency went to the palace to meet the emperor, and he won't be back for a short time. If you want to see him, you probably have to go to the palace."

Xiao Ran and the three of them looked at each other.

"Let's go to the palace!"

In order not to waste time, the three of them immediately changed direction and walked towards the palace.

Their task today is to invite the Prime Minister over. Time is tight. During this period, they have to discuss plans, but there is not so much time to waste.

The main entrance of the palace gradually enlarged in the eyes of the three people, and this area was even more sparsely populated.

But the two vermilion doors at the main entrance were tightly closed, and two guards stood beside them.

"This scene looks a bit familiar." Ji Laizhi murmured.

The identity given to him in the Yang Dian Trial was that of a guard guarding the main entrance of the palace.

"Will you not be allowed in?" Landao turned around and asked softly.

"Let's see and then talk."

Xiao Ran's expression did not change and he was half a step ahead of the two of them.

"The royal palace is an important place, so everyone else should avoid it!"

The two guards crossed their weapons in front of the three of them with stern expressions.

Xiao Ran's expression softened slightly.

He turned around and pushed Landao in front of the two men and said with a smile:

"This is the second prince of Song Yuan Kingdom. He wants to see the prime minister."

Landao: "..."

Only then did he realize what role he and Ji Laizhi had played.

As expected, the guard's expression changed.

"Is there any proof?"
